Sure, we can talk about us all day. Here's some stuff other people say about us.
Lisa Lindo is a master connector and skilled facilitator whose dedication and intelligence shine in every project she tackles. I admire her relentless work ethic, smart decision-making, and impeccable taste.

Her extensive network is a testament to her ability to get things done effectively. Lisa is particularly adept at booking theaters, nurturing talent, and supporting individuals in their professional growth. I highly recommend seizing any opportunity to work with her.
We came to Rocket Surgeon with an impossible task on an abbreviated timeline, and, oh man, they delivered. Because of them, my film TRUST IN LOVE had a fabulous theatrical roll out.
Edward possesses unprecedented passion and creativity. His dedication to developing quality services for clients and producers is impressive. He brings uncommon sense and expand-the-box thinking to business. In addition to being a great guy, he is also an award-winning author and has published several successful books and screenplays.
